Matthew 6:25-34 (The Message)

This is my most favorite scripture!

God grows me all the time. I look back and amazed at what he has done in my life. Lately I have been praising him for the people He has surrounded me with. And the opportunities to witness He has given me. If you would have asked me a year ago to witness to a stranger or even aquiantance I would not have been able to do it. I am surrounded by Christ following leaders i my life right now who have shown me how amazing it can be to witness. I am so blessed.

Crazy things are going on at my work right now. I know the economy is bad. But we are in child care my friends. There is no way he is losing money except he is because he is not budgeting my classroom alone banks 12000 a month. my salary barely touches that! And I pray for the owner of my school. He does not know the Lord. I pray for him daily. and while everyone is out there, fussing about what if their check bounces what if he lays off, I am praying. Praying and not even slightly worried, I have control issues. HUGE ones. The Lord has shown me how to give the control over to him. And I am singing his praises that I know his hand is over my job, that he brings me there to show everyone through my attitude His amazing unfailing love!!

I had the amazing opportunity to help out a coworker this week, and I watched a DEAR friend who believes in God but no where near has a relationship with Him FORM a relationship with Him, just by seeing His love poured out on the lady through others. We prayed before we left the lady's house after blessing her with household gifts. And i peered up to see my friend truly praying tlaking to the Lord. God is GOOD, thank you God for letting me do Your work. Use me Lord!!!!

Spenser

Tonight I gave my friend Kathy a ride to the mall. We met a FABULOUS man named spenser. he works for vonage and told us about all the free stuff he could give us with NO monthly contract. anywho. andrew was sitting on his desk playing with stuff (of which he approved) and decided to play that jumping game while i was speaking with spenser. i was not told we were playing so i see his movement out of the corner of my eye ( i was standing right in front of drew)and literally catch my son going head first down to the mall floor by.the.ANKLE. yes people. im a life saver. life.saver.

things that I wonder about people

so those of you that know me know that i am a nosey person. I am. I will people watch ALL day. Things people do truly just interest me. If someone paid me to sit random places and wonder outloud about people I would be a gazillionaire!! I love it. I digress, Here are some things I have been wondering about people (I know and dont know) for the past couple weeks,

1. When you have children and go on a date night, you turn your phone OFF really? i feel like this is CPS worthy for some reason.

2. Why would a man with elvis hair pumped up 20 times its natural size roam around a food court in circles. with a huge trench coat on. Can any one say PIPE BOMB?

3. If there is no stop sign you do not HAVE TO STOP!!!!! for.the.love. the traffic pattern has been the same at the mall for years people.

4. If you are married. Wear your wedding ring! it is not nice to us single ladies. sheesh. and ESPECIALLY to church!

5. dont lie to your best friend when you screw up. only more trouble will ensue. and come ON they are your best friend. they will understand the truth no matter how embarrassing it is.

6. please take your 6 year olds pacifier away.

7. and their bottle too.

8. If you are in customer service....the sun should be shining out of everywhere in your body. if not please find a new profession.

9. dont cuss at your children.

10. Dont goto a popular mall holding hands with your brothers wife. you will run into you ex girl and your son.
